[00:09.30]BODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS VOLUMES
[00:12.56]Body language is used to communicate attitudes
[00:15.77]and feelings.
[00:17.07]Every culture uses a set of gestures,
[00:19.83]facial expressions and body movements together
[00:23.18]with words to make a message clear.
[00:26.03]Nowadays, as people travel more,
[00:28.57]and come in to contact more frequently
[00:30.61]with people of different cultures,
[00:32.86]they rely on communicating in body language
[00:35.43]when they do not share
[00:36.95]a common spoken language.
[00:39.27]This can be quie successful.
[00:41.25]For example, at food markets
[00:42.88]in foreign lands,
[00:44.04]it is quite easy to show the seller
[00:45.92]what we would like to purchase
[00:47.61]by pointing to a particulare food and smiling.
[00:50.43]On the other hand,
[00:51.45]we can easily show what we do not like
[00:54.29]by shaking our heads.The message is clear.
